kbauman92's build

got my tie rods and ball joints from RockAuto today ordered them 2 days ago, great service
started to take them off but the tie rods are not wanting to come out without a fight, gonna try again tomorrow

 

14" 600# coils installed with new ball joints and tie rods

 

I really need to get out on some trails soon got bored after work and streched the legs

 

Looks sweet man!

 

as is yours! nice wheels by the way what welder did you pick up?

 

Haha i love these wheels man, I just grabbed the little pos hf flux core welder, works okay, can't beat it for under 100 with the full replacement warranty

 

hows it work? i wanna pick up a thermal arc 180 or something like that nothing too big but there almost a grand

 

Honestly no complaints, if your just using it for little things it works awesome, I wouldn't build anything structural like suspensions components and sliders, but i think it's fine for like bumpers or whatever.. The only complaint is the crappy stock wire, once I got some new wire it was like a totally different machine. Also the mask they give you is crap I grabbed a auto darkening mask. Have you ever welded before?

 

just a week of gas welding in school, but it got me hooked i wanted a welder before now i really want one, id use it to build a rear bumper and weld on some gussets and random stuff

 

Ya, random video I took the first time I was using it, laid down a "decent bead" . lol

nice! heres after the first day of using filler rod with the gas welder

 

Look good man, r you going to buy a tube bender aswell?

 

a buddy of mine has one so ill probably just his, i have to finish up some stuff on the truck but i need a welder for them, and i dont have enough for a welder and the stuff i need so im kinda stuck right now ill probably have a friend weld up what i need now and get a welder down the road

 

U could always find a used one... Still freaking pricy though...
